Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. While this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehab have to have to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab facility which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.
